Tom & Teddy for Dad! Because Dads Need Sun Coverage Too!

Disclosure: I received a product from Tom & Teddy to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.
I post about sun protection for my kids, but I haven't really discussed it for adults. Thought it's a given we're going to do all we can to keep our children's skin protected from the harmful rays of the sun, it's also equally important for the adults in the family to keep their skin protected too. Up until now that meant slathering on the sun protection lotion, wearing big hats, or staying out of the direct sun.

For Father's Day we're gifting dad with instant sun protection!This Tom & Teddy Rash Guard Shirt is going to be an instant favorite, I already know.

This Father's Day, I'm happy to say that's going to change for my husband. Little man and I have conspired to get him his own Rash Guard sun protection shirt. Because we have a tentative beach vacation scheduled this year, and hubby has had the bright idea to take surfing lessons while we are there, I know he's going to be psyched about this shirt as a gift.

It's all in the details. 50+ UPF protection, a soft finish, and salt/chlorine resistant too.

When it comes to a rashguard shirt, it's all about the details, isn't it? When you're paying for sun protection in the form of clothing, you want your investment to be a good one. The Tom & Teddy line is built to look nice, but it's also built tough. The contrasting neckline you see in the picture above is double seamed for durability, the material is made to keep it's shape, and the quick drying microfiber is chlorine and salt resistant. This shirt has a nice sheen to it and it's soft to the touch. I think it's going to make dad happy to get it on his special day.

If you're looking for something fun to get dad for Father's Day, or any day actually, take a look at the Tom & Teddy website. This is a company that specializes in matching outfits for dad and son(s), and I think that's such a fun concept. I know little man looks up to his dad and having the same outfit as him on the beach would definitely make him laugh. Don't you think matching swim wear for dad and son would be fun?

You can learn more about the looks at Tom & Teddy by visiting their website. You can also follow them on Facebook and/or Twitter.

I love that you've found a product for adults! After a childhood filled with long, unprotected days in the sun, I find I have to cover up more now than ever before. This would be perfect for my husband who has had sun poisioning as a child and needs to keep covered from the sun's rays!

I think it's a perfect idea to get a shirt like this! It's good protection, I wish I had something like it but with more of a womanly fit. Then I wouldn't have to worry about showing off too much of my chest.

You get the worst burns when you are in the water--or water skiing on top of it! This will assure that he doesn't spend part of the vacation in pure sun burned agony! That is a nice looking shirt so I think he will wear it without a fight!

I've never even contemplated buying something like this! We spend our summers in Italy no one wears anything like this. I think this mainly a North American concept. For Europeens, it often seems like less is more on the beach :-)

I remember a few years ago that we went to the beach. We had the spray sunscreen and quickly learned that it gives spotty coverage. Don't forget to put sunscreen on the tops of your feet. This was where I missed. I hope he enjoys his new shirt.

I don't like the thick material of some rash guards, but this one looks perfect! Not too thick or thin. It's great that there are companies making sun protection clothing for adults beyond the specialized water sport wear.

For adult men, this is a very cool site and good idea to get them clothing with sun protection. My hubs will not rub stuff on him, so it's hard to get him to lather up :) He actually wants a tan all the time!!!
